Chapter 419

Leaving aside the comments from Isabelle’s fans—after all, she cannot control them, and as a doctor, not a celebrity, she has no obligation to manage them—it can be said that those fans who insult Lia have nothing to do with her. However, she saw two interview videos where Isabelle clearly disliked Lia! This is quite different from Isabelle’s behavior in front of her.

Remembering some intentional or unintentional hints from Nora, as well as several angry remarks, Helena couldn’t help but start to doubt. Did Nora tell the truth? Is Isabelle intentionally targeting Lia?

Feeling her suspicion, Isabelle’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly showed a somewhat sad expression. “Grandma, did you hear something from someone? It seems like you don’t love me as much as before…”

Helena, who had watched her grow up, felt a pang of sympathy, but some things needed clarifying. “No one told me anything; I saw something online. When the journalist was interviewing you, how could you say such things about Lia?” Helena was a little dissatisfied.

Knowing the reason would be good, Isabelle felt a slight relief. The next moment, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she awkwardly lowered her head, saying without hesitation, “I’m sorry, Grandma, it was my fault.”

“I knew I shouldn’t have said that, but I couldn’t control myself because I was really jealous of Ophelia. Ever since she appeared, it seems like Grandma, Xander, and even Lenora don’t like me as much anymore. I… I’m a little scared.”

She looked up, with a bewildered and helpless expression. “I know that everything I have now used to belong to Ophelia. What should I do when she comes back?”

She stubbornly held back her tears and said, “I can give up everything—the inheritance left by my mother, the position of heir—but I just can’t bear to part with you all.”

“But I knew that my name was not right and my words were not proper. If Ophelia came back, I would have to make room for her, and then I would lose you all…”

“Grandma, I’m sorry… but I was really scared!” Speaking of this, her voice was already unable to hide the sobbing.

After hearing all this, Helena was heartbroken and embraced her. “Good child, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Isabelle, looking fragile, lay in Helena’s arms, knowing she had passed the test, and quietly curled her lips. Helena sighed, “It was my fault. I have been neglecting you lately.”

“But Ophelia was my granddaughter, and you were also my granddaughter. Ophelia came back, so of course you were her sister. How could I let you leave the Whitaker family? Silly child!”

Seeing the situation was going well, Isabelle seized the opportunity and whispered, “But it seems like Ophelia doesn’t really like me…”

“How can you say that?”

Isabelle gave a bitter smile and looked up. “Grandmother, I said I didn’t bully Ophelia with anyone else; do you believe me?”

“At that time, David simply asked her if she had an appointment, reminding her that she couldn’t come to that floor without one. But when she saw me, she became aggressive and started mocking me, saying that I had made that place dirty. After that, she angrily decided to leave on her own.”

“I promised you that I would try my best to get along well with her, so how could I dare to drive her away? But I didn’t expect that she would say such things to Grandma afterwards.”
